Part 1

The Heavy Craft by Page is written using symbolical language which carries a message with a deep message. He starts with the statement that the wax has melted but the dream of flight still persists. One might wonder how a dream of flight might be connected with wax. Wax is used to join two parts to help two parts become stronger. However, in this case, the wax has melted which seems to suggest that he feels that his flight dream is under threat. The theme of this poem is no losing hope no matter what happens. In the poem to a friend whose ...

Question # 1

One of the major concepts of Confucianism is “Jen” and in Confucianism, Jen is what makes individual an individual. It is what gives self its humanity and dignity. In Confucianism, the concept of self is not an isolated one. In Confucians teaching, it is not possible to be an individual without the society and the concept of the self emerges only in the relation to others. Confucianism gives much more value to the whole society rather than individualism as it considers individuals to be a constituent of society instead of isolated objects. Confucianism propagates strong hierarchical order and persuades individuals to ...

The word “Sorrow” is often confined by definition to a feeling of intense emotion that can come as a result of many different circumstances. In individual feels sorrow, or feels sorry for something they have done, something that has happened, or someone they know, and that is where the definition ends. However, there are many ways that sorrow can be defined. It is true that the word should be defined by its feeling, but it should also be defined based on an individual’s actions and the way they live their lives. Sorrow can also be defined by the state of ...

The enactment given to Hamlet by Great Performances originally broadcast on April 28, 2010 is modern staging. Never the less it is still a tale of “Murder! Murder most foul” and it loses nothing for having Dr. Who and Captain Picard as the male leads. Quite to the contrary, they are such great actors they allow the view to suspend their natural disbelief of the mad prince’s insane world.
Hamlet is “The Mad Prince of Denmark.” Although it is hard to decide if Hamlet is truly mad, or just acting insane following this theme helps keep track of ...

Our love is not a fading earthly flower:

Its wingèd seed dropped down from Paradise,

And, nursed by day and night, by sun and shower,

Doth momently to fresher beauty rise.
Nor winter's rattling boughs lack lusty green:
Our summer hearts make summer's fulness where
No leaf or bud or blossom may be seen:
For nature's life in love's deep life doth lie,
Love,--whose forgetfulness is beauty's death,
Whose mystic key these cells of Thou and I
Into the infinite freedom openeth,
And makes the body's dark and narrow grate
The wide-flung leaves of Heaven's palace-gate.
LOVE BY JAMES RUSSEL LOWELL (ERASED TEXT)

The trial of Priscilla Van Acker

Introduction (Abstract)
As the prosecuting attorney in this case, it is imperative to reiterate the fact that my brief essentially entails ensuring that the ends of justice are met. In that breadth, I wish to submit that it is not justice if the interests of the complainant and indeed in this case the prosecution are served without due consideration of the accused’s interests. Ideally, balancing the two contrasting and conflicting interests would be the most essential in this case. That notwithstanding I wish to deliver my side of the bargain. It is my contention that indeed the ...

Has anyone ever noticed a lot of people around that don’t really register on the radar? They aren’t invisible, not exactly. But on the other hand they are more like ghosts than the real people in the city. When real people are rushing around to work sometimes there are flickers in and out of the crowds on the sidewalk. Or grayish shadows moving along the edges of the building even on a sunny day. Since there is no such thing as ghosts they must be people. Right? Probably people who are like that can do a lot of things real ...

Dedication: This poetry analysis essay, which analyzes four poems exploring death, is lovingly dedicated to my grandfather who recently passed on.

This essay analyzes four different poems from four different authors. All of the poems relate to death, and each author has a distinct way of thinking and exploring the issue. “Play”, by A. R. Ammons begins by painting a gloomy picture of everyone’s eventual demise and then turns that around by using it as a justification for following one’s dreams. Dylan Thomas’s poem “And Death Shall Have No Dominion” is a powerful statement against, written in a Biblical voice of ...

In his short story “The Things They Carried,” Tim O’Brien uses a narrative technique of slowly revealing more information about a death that strongly affected a major character. In the first few pages of the story, the death is not even confirmed. When the narrator states, “Until he was shot, Ted Lavender carried 6 or 7 ounces of premium dope, which for him was a necessity,” the reader does not know whether the victim survived or not. In a similar way, the narrator provides details of the physical objects that the soldiers carry, but slowly adds more and more objects, each time explicitly ...

It was late but Shelly proudly strut to her car because she felt great about her workout at the local gym. Wiping sweat from her overly tanned forehead, she unlocked her car and climbed in. The first thing she noticed was the alert light on her Galaxy phone because she’d missed five calls from her husband. Nervously, she called him back immediately. Finally, he answers in a whispering voice saying; “Call 911 I hear someone in the house.” And then, dead air followed. Shelly was frantic, she called 911 while she raced home on the dark and barely visible ...

In literature and visual arts, the term realism refers to attempts to portray subjects as they appear in reality. Basically, this is art imitating life. Before the 14th century, the main subject matter of art was religion. Most works of art intended to provoke a religious reaction, and show respect to God, as well as the Angels. Pictures were not realistic, and most works of art lacked perspective. Figures deemed pertinent had to be made significantly larger than the other figures. They also lacked landscapes. However, all this changed as artists incorporated realism into their work. Realism, with reference to ...

The lost Paradise

The first disobedience from man was on the fruit
The fruits from the forbidden tree which assured a mortal taste
Thus the coming of death and woes of man
With Eden gone one greater man still
Promises of restoration, rejuvenation, of the seat
Through singing the muse of heaven and the top secrets
Whether of Sinai or Oreb, whichever the source of inspiration
This was the shepherd who taught the selected seed
About how the earth and heavens were created
Rising from chaos: from the Zion hill
This is the ...

Personal Reflection – Ophelia

And deliver’d onto us the lustful passions without a quiet sleep,
With unfeigned heart, I ought have taken heed of father’s words
“Or lose your heart, or chaste treasure open,
Thy madness strives for conquest in my breast,
For greatest are the torments our own hell provides.
When thou took me by the wrist, in thy eye one thing,
Dissuaded me from my vow, the black son of hell,
With no apparent direction. Oh, why did I not know?
Thou art fairer than darkness and more cunning,
My damned ...

There are a lot of things and emotions that could take place when the topic being talked about is death. Whether it is a loved one or a stranger, there will always be some kind of weird feeling that sinks in whenever you see someone dying or ...

Because Plato valued reason and logic above anything else, he would have much to say about the sentence reporting that Louise showed “not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought” (Chopin). Plato would probably criticize the author who happened not only to come up with the idea that a human being could cease having accurate and objective understanding of what was going around but also offered this idea to the potential readership. So the sentence under discussion shows underestimation of the crucial importance of understanding the reality properly. Plato would surely state ...

For all my colleagues, I would like to discuss how the behavior of each of the members of the conversation at an office affected the end result of the conversation. Firstly, communication is supposed to be a back and forth process and each person involved in a setting for making a decision, needs to participate, voice their opinion and they are heard. Similarly, other people in that setting need to listen to the speaker while they are talking so that a message is conveyed properly. When everyone sat down with one person at the board jotting down the ideas ...

He was a very unusual man for he named all his children, except for the first-born male, by thumbing at random in the Bible. His wife died giving birth to their daughter and a poor man was confused and devastated by his loss. But a girl needed a name. So broken-hearted father took a Bible, and, as he could not read, chose a group of letters that seemed to him strong and handsome: he imagined that it was ...

The news story I found interesting and though provoking this week was a story reported in the NY Daily News. The story is of a man in Tuscaloosa Alabama, who died after a scuffle with the Alabama police and the use of pepper spray to help subdue the man. The 911 call reported the man was Anthony Ware, he had a warrant for previously attempting to elude police and he had a gun in his possession. When the police arrived at the apartment complex, Mr. Ware fled into the woods, fought with the police and eventually was pepper sprayed. As the police were leading ...

1) Discuss some of the mythic and ritual elements, and the logical, rhetorical, and ethical aspects of Oedipus the King. Think about how Oedipus proposes to purge the city of the murder-pollution, the key arguments between Oedipus, Tiresius, and Creon, and the arguments Oedipus made to himself and acted upon to defeat the prophecy, the rhetorical device of irony that permeates the play, and the ethics of everyone's actions, the family members and others involved in the tragedy.

According to the traditional interpretations of classical drama, Oedipus the King was brought down by the gods or fate because ...

“Careful dear,” my mother lovingly caressed my hair as I bumped into her while frantically running upstairs on my way to the roof top. I would be nine years old tomorrow and she still treats me as if I am a three. I didn’t in the least like her gestures of love. ”Why can’t she just keep her hands off me? Why on earth she has to make a show of it every damn time I am near her? Just the thought of her touching me makes me puke,” angrily I mused as I continued to run upstairs. I ...

Stephen Crane spent about thirty hours in an open boat on 1 January 1897 and years later he published the story that became a reflection of his experience. “The Open Boat” wasn’t just a description of those thirty hours; it was a short story that related to Crane’s main beliefs and concerns about the society (Spofford 316). There are some main points of interest in the story – its motifs of nature’s indifference and brotherhood that unite in the face of it.
At the center of the story Crane puts indifference of the universe and the nature of human ...

Tennyson's poem “Ulysses” combines the Dante’s and Homer’s story of the king Ulysses or Odysseus story to create a long monologue that Ulysses gives detailing his boredom at being in Ithaca, and his desire to return to the adventurous life he lived before. Many critics declare that Tennyson's poem reflects his personal desire to overcome the death of his best friend, Hallam. In fact, Tennyson wanted to keep on living his life with all the negative and positive changes that mirrored the life of Ulysses. Ideally, “Ulysses” is a dramatic monologue that includes the persona’s critical situation that ...

1. "Politics is the art of postponing decisions until they are no longer relevant."

The general public considers politicians people of no, or of very little scruples, who have risen to power not for the amelioration of their fellow countrymen, but for their own miserly purposes. The newspapers and other media are abundant with examples of corrupt politicians, pocketing the amounts of money that will go undetected by the control, and purchasing huge villas, newest models of cars and traveling to destinations mere mortals can only dream of. In reality, they are merely taking advantage of the gullible masses ...

When I first sat down to write about this topic, I started the research. I found stories that show scientist who want to grow embryos past the current 14-day limit, in a lab. I also found a story about the Death with Dignity act. Both are on opposite ends of the life cycle and both are ethical issues. Both topics have lessons to learn through listening to the stories of others.
The embryo issue is something that parents of children with disabilities could benefit from, because the research could help them understand how their child was born with ...

In the book of Ecclesiastes, the author, often called “the Teacher” discusses the results of his life’s pursuit of both worldly success and wisdom.

E. E. Cummings is a poet known for his strategic and unique use of punctuation, spacing, rhythm, and poem construction which combine to create a powerful piece of literature. This is particularly true of “pity this busy monster manunkind,” which uses rhetorical devices such as line breaks, asides, and punctuation choices to generate meaning within the reader. The poem is, itself, an indictment of modern civilization, but it is conducted in such an abstract way, and through such a distorted lens, and it requires a reader to be astute and focused to derive the true meaning from the work. ...

Her hands shook, each finger twitching in a frenzied and broken rhythm that no one could have possibly understood. That was okay, the rhythm of her fingers matched the erratic beating of her heart at that moment. She had done something horrible, something that she might never have believed possible of herself in a million years. Worse than that though, so much so in fact that she felt it as a sudden awakening in the pit of her stomach, she’d enjoyed it. She had put a gun to a man’s head and pulled the trigger, and she ...

When World War I broke, earlier poets wrote poems celebrating the outbreak of the First World War. These poems reflected an over-optimistic, sentimental and unrealistic attitude to war that mirrored the attitude of the British people, who assumed that the war was chivalrous and heroic. Rupert Brooke's “The Soldier” is an example of such early World War I poetry, in which Brooke uses strong figurative language and symbols to romanticize and sentimentalize the horrors of war. By 1915, both the British people and poets began to realize how horrific and terrible the war really was, and poems thereafter ...
